CULTURAL IDENTITY IN THE ROMAN EMPIRE
Routledge. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1998. Hardcover. 041513594X . DJ has very minor shelfwear else Fine ; This provocative and often controversial volume examines the notions of ethnicity citizenship and nationhood to determine what constituted cultural identity in the Roman Empire. The contributors draw together the most recent research and use diverse theoretical and methodological perspectives from archaeology classical studies and ancient history to challenge our basic assumptions of Romanization and how parts of Europe became incorporated into a Roman culture. Cultural Identity in the Roman Empire breaks new ground arguing that the idea of a unified and easily defined Roman culture is over-simplistic and offers alternative theories and models. ; 205 pages .

Oxford University Press. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1995. First Edition. Hardcover. 0198149433 . Light discoloration to DJ spine. Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. Light bump to top corner of book else Fine. Former classics scholar's name on ffep Peter Fraser. ; No historian of ancient Rome in this century has had a greater influence on historical research or won greater international acclaim than Sir Ronald Syme 1903-89. His outstanding position was due mainly to his first two books The Roman Revolution which appeared in 1939 and Tacitus two volumes 1958 - although he went on to produce many more monographs and seven volumes of his Roman Papers have so far appeared. The long gap between his first two books is partly explained by the war which took him on official duties to Belgrade and Ankara and he spent the years 1943-5 at Istanbul as Professor of Classical Philology. It was known that in spite of the war Syme had continued to write in these years in particular 'Strabonia' investigations into the famous ancient Geography composed by Strabo a native of Asia Minor in the time of Augustus. After Syme's death the manuscript was discovered among his papers: he had not quite completed the work but what he had written with almost complete annotation represents a substantial and fascinating study of the historical geography of Anatolia in the Hellenistic and early Roman period. Syme ruthlessly dissects the often incoherent and inconsistent text of Strabo at the same time providing rich detail on client kings Roman generals and emperors writers and travellers. Above all he shows unequalled ability to understand the landscape and settlement of Anatolia. ; 424 pages . Oxford University Press hardcover

FEEDING THE ROMAN ARMY The Archaeology of Production and Supply in NW Europe
Oxbow Books. Fine. 2008. Softcover. 1842173235 . These ten papers from two Theoretical Roman Archaeology Conference 2007 sessions bring together a growing body of new archaeological evidence in an attempt to reconsider the way in which the Roman army was provisioned. Clearly the adequate supply of food was essential to the success of the Roman military. But what was the nature of those supply networks Did the army rely on imperial supply lines from the continent as certainly appears to be the case for some commodities or were provisions requisitioned from local agricultural communities If the latter was the case was unsustainable pressure placed on such resources and how did local communities respond Alternatively did the early stages of conquest include not only the development of a military infrastructure but also an effective supply-chain network based on contracts Beyond the initial stages of conquest how were provisioning arrangements maintained in the longer term did supply chains remain static or did they change over time and if so what precipitated those changes Addressing such questions is critical if we are to understand the nature of Roman conquest and the extent of interaction between indigenous communities and the Roman army. Case studies come from Roman Britain Alchester Cheshire Dorset France the Netherlands and the Rhine Delta looking at evidence from animal products military settlements the size of cattle horses pottery and salt. The editors also provide a review of current research and suggest a future agenda for economic and environmental research. ; 160 pages . Oxbow Books paperback

In a remarkable work of interpretive history Fergus Millar shows us this world as it was forged into the Roman provinces of Syria Judaea Arabia and Mesopotamia. His book conveys the magnificent sweep of history as well as the rich diversity of peoples religions and languages that intermingle in the Roman Near East. Against this complex backdrop Millar explores questions of cultural and religious identity and ethnicity--as aspects of daily life in the classical world and as part of the larger issues they raise. As Millar traces the advance of Roman control he gives a lucid picture of Rome's policies and governance over its far-flung empire. He introduces us to major regions of the area and their contrasting communities bringing out the different strands of culture communal identity language and religious belief in each. The Roman Near East makes it possible to see rabbinic Judaism early Christianity and eventually the origins of Islam against the matrix of societies in which they were formed. Millar's evidence permits us to assess whether the Near East is best seen as a regional variant of Graeco-Roman culture or as in some true sense oriental. A masterful treatment of a complex period and world distilling a vast amount of literary documentary artistic and archaeological evidence--always reflecting new findings--this book is sure to become the standard source for anyone interested in the Roman Empire or the history of the Near East. .

FINAL JUDGMENTS Duty and Emotion in Roman Wills 200 B.C.-A.D.
University of California Press. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 1991. Hardcover. 0520071034 . Freed from the familial and social obligations incumbent on the living the Roman testator could craft his will to be a literal "last judgment" on family friends and society. The Romans were fascinated by the contents of wills believing the will to be a mirror of the testator's true character and opinions. The wills offer us a unique view of the individual Roman testator's world. Just as classicists ancient historians and legal historians will find a mine of information here the general reader will be fascinated by the book's lively recounting of last testaments. Who were the testators and what were their motives Why do family kin servants friends and community all figure in the will and how are they treated What sort of afterlife did the Romans anticipate By examining wills the book sets several issues in a new light offering new interpretations of or new insights into subjects as diverse as captatio inheritance- seeking the structure of the Roman family the manumission of slaves public philanthropy the afterlife and the relation of subject to emperor. Champlin's principal argument is that a strongly felt "duty of testacy" informed and guided most Romans a duty to reward or punish all who were important to them a duty which led them to write their wills early in life and to revise them frequently. ; 228 pages .

Minor shelfwear to book. ; Oxford Classical Monographs; 1.11 x 8.74 x 5.7 Inches; 424 pages; The era of Diocletan and Constantine is a significant period for the Roman empire with far-reaching administrative changes that established the structure of government for three hundred years - a time when the Christian church passed from persecution to imperial favour. It is also a complex period of co-operation and rivalry between a number of co-emperors the result of Diocletian's experiment of government by four rulers the tetrarchs. This book examines imperial government at this crucial but often neglected period of transition through a study of the the pronouncement that the emperors and their officials produced drawing together material from a wide variety of sources: the law codes Christian authors inscritpions and papyri. The study covers the format composition and promulgation of documents and includes chronological catalogues of imperial letters and edicts as well as extended discussions of the Gregorian and Hermogenian Codes and the ambitious Prices Edict. Much of this has had little detailed coverage in English before. There is also a chapter that elucidates the relative powers of the members of the imperial college. Finally Dr Corcoran assesses how effectively the machinery of government really matched the ambitions of the emperors. . Oxford University Press hardcover

Book has remainder mark black felt-tip line on bottom of textblock. else NF. ; Hellenistic Culture and Society; 1.42 x 8.98 x 6.06 Inches; 348 pages; This book provides a new literary treatment of an often-overlooked collection of fragmentary poems from the third century B. C. E. Alexandrian poet Callimachus. Callimachus' Iambi form a collection of thirteen poems which rework archaic Greek iambography and look forward to Roman satire and other genres especially to such collections as Horace's Epodes. The poems are especially significant as examples of cultural memory since they are composed both as an act of commemorating earlier poetry and as a manipulation of traditional features of iambic poetry to refashion the iambic genre. This book fills a significant gap by providing the first complete translation of several of these fragmentary poems in English along with line-by-line commentary notes and literary analysis. The structure of the book is thematic with chapters focusing on such topics as poetic voice fable ethical criticism and statuary. Each chapter consists of an introduction text and selected critical apparatus translation and comprehensive thematic discussion. Acosta-Hughes focuses especially on Callimachus' manipulation of traditional features of archaic iambic poetry such as persona loquens ethical and critical message and eristic dialogue. He also includes a detailed analysis of the Alexandrian poet's artistic relationship with the earlier iambic poets Archilochus and Hipponax. Polyeideia will interest not only readers of Greek and Hellenistic poetry but also readers of Roman satire and invective verse as well as those intrigued by the processes of memorializing and fashioning poetic culture. .

Drake H. A.
CONSTANTINE AND THE BISHOPS The Politics of Intolerance
The Johns Hopkins University Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2000. Hardcover. 0801862183 . Dustjacket has minor shelfwear. ; Ancient Society and History; 1.68 x 8.76 x 8.78 Inches; 632 pages; Historians who viewed imperial Rome in terms of a conflict between pagans and Christians have often regarded the emperor Constantine's conversion as the triumph of Christianity over paganism. But in Constantine and the Bishops historian H. A. Drake offers a fresh and more nuanced understanding of Constantine's rule and especially of his relations with Christians. Constantine Drake suggests was looking not only for a god in whom to believe but also a policy he could adopt. Uncovering the political motivations behind Constantine's policies Drake shows how those policies were constructed to ensure the stability of the empire and fulfill Constantine's imperial duty in securing the favor of heaven. Despite the emperor's conversion to Christianity Drake concludes Rome remained a world filled with gods and with men seeking to depose rivals from power. A book for students and scholars of ancient history and religion Constantine and the Bishops shows how Christian belief motivated and gave shape to imperial rule. .

CHANGES IN THE ROMAN EMPIRE Essays in the Ordinary
Princeton University Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1990. Hardcover. 0691036012 . Dustjacket has minor shelfwear. ; 1.25 x 9.75 x 6.75 Inches; 416 pages; Written by one of the foremost historians of the Roman Empire this collection of both new and previously published essays forms a colorful picture of daily life in the Mediterranean world between A.D. 50 and 450. Here for example the author applies statistical analysis to broad groups of people on matters ranging from justice through medicine to language. In so doing he is able to substantiate general statements about routines in ordinary people's behavior and to detect within these routines the very changes that constitute history. Such analysis also shows how this era benefits from the same historiographical approaches that have so successfully elucidated sociocultural phenomena in other periods. Drawing from statistical analysis and many other historical approaches these essays on popular mores in the Roman Empire cover such topics as language and art acculturation thought and religion sex and gender cruelty and slavery and aspects of class and power relations. The author introduces the collection with several essays on historical method as it pertains to the richness of documentation and variety to be found in the region and period chosen. .
